We represent nearly 1,500 dining workers on tech campuses in WA and OR at Google, Microsoft, and Meta. All these workers secured union recognition through a card check process just like workers are now asking from Lavish Roots. The countdown to our deadline of Dec 1 continues!

Tech dining workers and allies packed the room last night to announce a new deadline for LavishRoots, Meta's cafeteria operator in Bellevue, Redmond, and SoDo. By December 1st, we demand Lavish end their anti-union campaign and agree to a fair process for union recognition!

Yesterday we leafletted Meta office staff in Bellevue and asked them to support their Lavish Roots dining workers, who are organizing a union. The response was great--they have our backs! If you know a Meta employee, send them our survey here: local8.org/metasurvey

Great news and victory for hospitality workers in LA!
The hotel and airline bankrolled challenge to the Olympic wage *did not qualify* for the ballot according to the LA County Registrar.
This means the city’s Olympic wage ordinance , $25/hour beginning this year and $30/hour by 2028, goes into effect for tourism workers immediately

I was glad to join dozens of elected leaders around the region as a signatory of this letter in support of food service workers at local Meta offices in Bellevue and Redmond.
BREAKING: 40 elected leaders sent a letter to Lavish Roots and Meta urging them to be neutral and respect workers’ desire to form a union. Over 200 Lavish workers who prepare and serve meals for Meta employees in WA state are organizing, and our elected leaders have our backs!

Thank you Congresswoman Jayapal for listening to Lavish Roots workers who cook and serve food at Meta! For Abdul, a dishwasher, “This letter demonstrates that the concerns we face are not ours alone. It lends us the courage that we must summon every day to transform our lives.”

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel.
Now she's a member of HTC.
Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

We’re speaking out today at SeaTac to tell Alaska Airlines that NO airline catering worker should have to choose between paying their bills or getting medical treatment!
IT’S OUR TURN for equal wages and fair benefits!
